"Correlation is not causation" but this is reasoning I can get behind if it protects womens rights.
At this point mandatory abortions for all is likely the only way to save the planet.

But isn’t getting behind a women right, like a third to a half of the problem/cause of unwanted pregnancies!!!

More people = More people driving. Both Correlation and Causation can shut it.

Which also means less carbon emissions, which leads to an end to global warming. See, the gov't knows what they're doing.

It'll take 16 years give or take but it's solid logic
CoraNightsong
I mean forced birth is going to kill more mothers and plunge more parents into poverty, so maybe less traffic that way.

We should abort all Americans who can not pass the standard citizenship test. Just a test that immigrants have to take to for citizenship.

Ehhh, let’s say 18 years old +

I think 8 billion people is just about enough
Donfolstar
1 billion is enough.
notanoldbitterbetty
This is nitpicky but they should also add a pill to the decal since a good chunk of abortions are done medically!
paintbullits
Most likely american so im not sure if thats true any longer.
notanoldbitterbetty
Iirc they're trying to protect the medical abortion in the us so it might even jump higher.

"Correlation is not causation" is op saying population has nothing to do with traffic?
Sensiblyinteresting
Not nothing to do but traffic is mostly an infrastructure problem. Lack of reliability public transportation and city planning around cars

In NA at least.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
We've successfully taught people that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Now we need to reteach them that it sometimes can.

Ah, Maryland’s War of 1812 tags. Those years when we were all given plates celebrating a draw.

Indiana - we have Indiana plates and "God we Trust" plates that look like the ones where a portion of fee is donated to a nonprofit. 1/2

I make sure to loudly state I want the Godless plates when I renew at the BMV 2/2
tomatoboy
Are they the default plate, or a novelty plate? These were Maryland’s default plates for several years.
paulwall117350
It's something in between, it's a second new default plate that you get to choose between the two, not a novelty one you pay for.
idrinkcheapbeer
I opted for the "Treasure The Chesapeake" plates.

A battle doesn’t make the war. In the majority view of military historians the War of 1812 was a draw/stalemate. The war ended with the…
AlysObv
On 1 June 1812, President James Madison gave a speech to the US Congress that recounted American grievances against Britain. 1/3
AlysObv
After Madison's speech, the House of Representatives quickly voted (79 to 49) to declare war, and the Senate did the same by 19 to 13. 2/3
AlysObv
The war formally began on 18 June 1812. It was the first time that the US had declared war on another nation.
tomatoboy
…status quo preserved. No significant territorial or other geopolitical gains were made by either side and neither side left the war…
tomatoboy
…significantly better or worse than they entered it.
tomatoboy
Also, minor correction, the CapitOl was not burned “to the ground,” although it did sustain significant fire damage.
Cluny
The US started the war by invading Canada to conquer it. In that context, "Neither side gained anything" is the same as British victory.
tomatoboy
I’ll refer you to the concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_quo_ante_bellum
tomatoboy
The War of 1812 is a “draw” because the status quo ante bellum was preserved. Nothing changed.

Works even faster if you start building decent bike/walk/train/bus infrastructure!
YoSamiteSam
Not fast enough. You gotta get rid of the stop signs, speed limit signs, and "bridge out ahead" signs.

I would love a high speed train system like in Japan.

Uhhmm.. the US could need a little bit more from the Japanese culture..

That sounds like it would have oil and car companies make a little less money. No way Republicans will stand for that
paintbullits
Sure. And that can be great. But everyone on that side of that particular topic seems to want to ban cars in general. F that im keeping mine
sorensoncruiser
Umm you ever been outside in Houston? Atlanta? Sweaty. Ever ridden a bus in Tucson? no thanks. It will never work in any US city.

Only because we make building dense housing effectively illegal in most cities leading to suburban sprawl. If we allowed cities to be built

more densely/compactly (how they used to be!) non-automobile transit becomes much more feasible

Suburban is nice tho. Idk why people seem to hate it.

Man just wear a condom or get a vasectomy if your pullout game is that weak.
mikeatike
That's a dumbly weak excuse to be anti-abortion.
Dracology
who even said anything about that. Its just stupid and kinda messed up to make a girl get three abortions because you cant wrap it.
Kamishiro
PSA: Pulling out is only ~78% effective! Do not rely on it to avoid pregnancy!
AFatRaccoon
Those numbers are because people have trouble sticking to it every time, not because you can magically get pregnant even sans creampie
aleghanna
It’s also because precum may contain viable sperm. Why take the risk, cap it before you pop it.
AFatRaccoon
This is only partially true. Precum never contains sperm. However, semen still in the urethra from a previous ejaculation can be (1/2)
Elsoyyo
But, more abortions less crime checks out....

It's a little upsetting how accurate you are with that statement, as society is currently running....

Though that particular example was more an example of the US having a lot of poverty and lack of access to childcare. The aborted kids 1/
tirohtar
Would have grown up in poor or drug-involved households, that's what would have pushed them into crime. Still oughta fix the poverty issue.
Sensiblyinteresting
So you are saying future criminals are more likely to be aborted as babies?!? Incredible!
Elsoyyo
Other way around for a similar conclusion. Aborted fetuses would more likely engage in criminal activity is what the research indicates.

I was /s forced birth is a means of oppressing women minorities in the poor

Due to growing up poor more often iirc

Unwanted, resented, as well as the socioeconomic bind.

Weird how crime rates plummeted 17-20 years after roe!

I get it. Basic freakonomics. Clinton 90s crime rate downward trend verses Roe v Wade from '76

I think they were disproven but still a great book
JoshuaHarazin
It's pretty consistent. In states that legalized abortion before Roe, the crime rate began to drop 18 years later.

The jury is still kind of out. It was still a good book and some interesting points to consider.
